Black Indians

William Loren Katz’s Black Indians offers a compelling exploration of the alliance between runaway slaves and Native American communities in their shared quest for freedom and equality in America. The book highlights how these relationships fostered acceptance and friendship, and examines the impact of mixed heritage children on the fur trade, frontier diplomacy, and the struggle for American liberty. This new edition updates the narrative surrounding this often-overlooked chapter in American history, making it a definitive resource for understanding the connections between these two cultures.
